In the days to come, may I learn to bring a level of awareness, gentleness, humility, insight, responsiveness, and sacredness to the practice of spiritually caring for others in a manner that reflects an "inclusive and expanding approach to all issues of life." This is the actual manifestation, identity, mastery or "spiritual intelligence SQ" (Wigglesworth, 2012) that is genuinely hoped for. That is, to become a leader who is able to think right, speak right, and behave right in all of my relations, is "broadminded and tolerant", and is deeply "grounded in what Freire (1998) calls a universal ethic" of caring. An individual who "has no religious, dogmatic, traditional, ideological, racial, or national barriers in his mind."
